Community first
Local families, towns and businesses are the reason for the work.
Loved, hated, talked about
About Hillbilly Bo
A regular man who loves his family, loves his community and got tired of watching people be ignored while polished local headlines told only half the story.
Why this exists
Stand up. Speak plain. Put people first.
Hillbilly Bo never started this to fit somebody else's idea of a reporter. The point is to bring attention to what is happening in our towns, schools and local government; support local businesses; ask direct questions; and give people who feel unheard a place to be heard.
This is independent community awareness and commentary. Reported facts, public records and opinion are labeled so the audience can tell the difference.
“Loved, hated, talked about. Hell, long as they spell Hillbilly Bo right.”
— Hillbilly Bo
Truth without a party leash
Not red. Not blue. Differently independent.
Fairness matters
Innocent until proven guilty. Ask hard questions without declaring somebody guilty.
Privacy has lines
Minors, house numbers and routine medical matters do not belong in public scanner reports.
